5 Ways to Use Simple Storage – Medium Binder + Sleeves
Hi Crafty Friend! You sit down to create because you want it to feel joyful and productive. But when your half sheet supplies are stacked in piles or reference pages are tucked into random spots, it’s easy to lose momentum before you even begin. You want to flip, find, and start crafting with confidence.
If keeping your crafty supplies and projects organized has ever slowed you down, you’re not alone. That’s why we designed our Simple Storage Collection! With more half-sheet products and tools joining our catalog, we created the Simple Storage – Medium Binder + Sleeves to help you stay organized without the overwhelm.
This binder gives your half-sheet products and projects a dedicated place, keeping everything protected, easy to browse, and right where you expect it to be. Made of lightweight, durable plastic in our signature TE Teal, it includes three 1 in. D-rings to the Simple Storage Medium Binder Sleeves securely in place. A sturdy elastic band keeps everything neatly contained when you’re on the go, so your creativity can travel with you.
Here are five smart ways to use your Simple Storage – Medium Binder + Sleeves:

1. Palette Playbooks
Keep all your color confidence in one easy-to-reference spot! Store your Palette Playbook color reference sheets in binder sleeves so you can quickly browse color combinations while you design. No more digging or guessing. Each binder holds approximately 40–50 sheets, so you’ll need two binders if you’d like to store every Palette Playbook in your collection. It’s like having your own portable color library right at your craft table!

2. Happy Half Sheets
Happy Half Sheets paper cutting patterns are perfect for batch stamping and mass producing handmade greeting cards. Slide your reference guides into sleeves for quick inspiration, then store partially finished projects right alongside them. Stamp a stack of half sheets when you’re in the mood, tuck them into your binder, and finish assembling cards later. It’s a simple way to stay organized and make the most of your creative time.

3. Design Duo Layering Stencils
Design Duo Layering Stencils are designed to work beautifully on half sheets of cardstock, creating multiple designs in one blending session. Store your stencils in the binder sleeves along with any stenciled sheets so everything stays together. When it’s time to complete your projects, you’ll know exactly where to find both the tool and the finished pieces.

4. TE Color Catalog
Once you’ve filled in your TE Color Catalog, this binder gives it a permanent home. Because nothing is printed on the back, you can store the sheets back-to-back in one sleeve to keep everything compact and easy to browse. You’ll have every color in your collection at your fingertips, neatly organized and ready to inspire.

It keeps your ideas flat, protected, and easy to flip through whenever you’re ready for your next project.
